Our school has used showcase portfolio's for parent-teacher conferences! The students created them and then had to present them to their parents. This held the students very accountable for their work. The parents could then decide if they wanted to meet the teachers then. #ED527
"If you want to see the effectiveness of an educator, you do not look at what the teacher is doing but at the learners whom they serve." #innovatorsmindset#georgecouros#ED527
@min_d_j A4: Anytime you are trying to share something new with someone, I think it is important to model and talk about it in smaller chunks. Too much at once is overwhelming. #udlchat
@min_d_j A2: I think any time I shift a mindset, the fear if failure is what holds me back the most. Thankfully, I have the right support systems in place at my school so I feel more secure. #UDLchat
@danaaxner_edu@Jen_Pusateri Choice is always wonderful for students. We get to make so many choices a day, it makes sense to offer choices to learners as well! #UDLchat
@ms_fleischer@min_d_j@UDL_Center They do a hot air balloon festival in Medora, ND in the badlands and I haven't been but the pictures look gorgeous π
@duluth65 Rainy days always help me focus on homework/work. Sometimes I put rain ambience on in the background if it's not raining outsideπ Fall is coming!
Schools with 1:1 devices have an edge on innovation because technology can be the accelerator of learning. I am guilty of getting stuck in a routine of convenience rather than innovation with this technology. #InnovatorsMindset has me thinking of ways to change this. #ED527
My school does a few things to help focus on the +'s! We have weekly strength cards where you can write notes to other staff members highlighting when you saw a strength of theirs. We also have cards for students that go out on a daily and weekly basis! #ED527#InnovatorsMindset
